Ingredients
1. Summer squash (yellow or zucchini, but yellow is the most common one for this), 4 cups sliced2. Yellow onion , one medium (or one cup)(Vidalia is best), finely chopped3. 2 extra large eggs,beaten4. 1 cup bread crumbs (seasoned)5. Cheddar chees, one cup shredded6. Bacon grease (no, really). 3 tsp. Finely chopped bacon if you like.
Boil squash in a medium saucepan until soft.
Meanwhile, slowly cook chopped onions in the bacon grease until translucent, then put aside.
When squash is cooked, drain it and put in a large frying pan, add onion and bacon greese. Mash with a potato masher. Cook for a few minutes or until some of the moisture is evaporated.
Mix in the eggs until thoroughly blended, quickly start to layer in a medium sized casserole dish (greased). Start with breadcrumbs, then squash, then cheese and end with breadcrumbs. You can sprinkle a little cheese and bacon bits over the top if you like. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until the breadcrumbs on top start to brown a little.
Serve right away.
This just gets better with each warming over.
